Definitions
- the present application relates to a display device, a method for driving a display device, and electronic apparatus, and particularly to a display device formed by arranging organic electroluminescence elements, a method for driving the display device, and electronic apparatus including the display device.
- organic electroluminescence element is a self-luminous element employing an organic electroluminescence (EL) phenomenon, and a display device employing it is advantageous in a wide viewing angle, low power consumption, and light weight.

- organic electroluminescence elements are formed to have a “light resonator structure (so-called microcavity structure)” that allows light of the respective colors generated by the organic electroluminescence elements to be extracted after being subjected to resonance in the elements.
- the organic electroluminescence element having the light resonator structure has enhanced light-extraction efficiency, i.e., enhanced front-light intensity, and enhanced color purity, and therefore is suitable for a full-color display device (refer to e.g. International Patent Publication WO01/039554 pamphlet, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 10-177896).
- the above-described organic EL displays devices it is desired for the above-described organic EL displays devices to achieve reduced power consumption and extended lifetime in addition to enhanced color reproducibility.
- the display devices having the above-described respective configurations may not sufficiently achieve reduced power consumption and an enhanced lifetime characteristic.
- the present application provides a display device that is allowed to achieve reduced power consumption and extended lifetime in addition to enhanced color reproducibility, a method for driving the display device, and electronic apparatus employing the display device.

Furthermore, a color filter is provided on the light-extraction side of at least one of these two blue pixels. Due to this feature, blue light beams having different y-values in the xy chromaticity coordinate system are extracted from these two blue pixels.
- the color gamut is expanded toward blue of a lower y-value due to the provision of two blue pixels from which blue light beams having different y-values in the xy chromaticity coordinate system are extracted.
- the blue pixel that offers a higher y-value the light-extraction efficiency can be enhanced by omitting the provision of the color filter or decreasing the density of the color filter. Therefore, in the case of displaying in which there is no need to expand the color gamut toward blue of a lower y-value, the blue pixel that offers a higher y-value and has more favorable light-extraction efficiency, of two blue pixels, is selected and used, so that power consumption is reduced. Because the necessary current of the blue light-emitting element is particularly large, the selection from two blue pixels can suppress the power consumption.
- the color gamut is expanded and thus the color reproducibility can be enhanced. Furthermore, power consumption can be suppressed, which can achieve the extension of the lifetime of the light-emitting elements.

- connection holes are so provided as to reach the source/drain of the transistors Tr.
- the interconnects 15 have a thickness of e.g. about 1.0 ⁇ m and are composed of aluminum (Al) or an aluminum (Al)-copper (Cu) alloy.

Either one of the lower electrode 21 and the upper electrode 23 is formed as the anode, and the other is formed as the cathode. In the present example, the lower electrode 21 is formed as the anode, and the upper electrode 23 is formed as the cathode.
- the lower electrode 21 is patterned for each pixel and connected to the interconnect 15 via the connection hole 17 a provided in the planarization insulating film 17 .
- the upper electrode 23 is provided on the light-emission functional layer 22 as an electrode common to the respective pixels.

- the provision of the layers other than the light-emitting latter 22 - 3 is according to need.

- the layers other than the light-emitting layer 22 - 3 may be provided as layers common to the respective pixels.
- the respective organic electroluminescence elements EL having the above-described multilayer structure are formed to have a resonator structure that allows light generated by the light-emission functional layers 22 ( r ), 22 ( g ), and 22 ( b ) to be extracted through the upper electrode 23 after being subjected to resonance between the lower electrode 21 formed of a reflective electrode and the upper electrode 23 composed of a semi-transmissive/semi-reflective material.
- these organic electroluminescence elements EL have a resonator structure in which the interface between the lower electrode 21 and the light-emission functional layer 22 serves as a first end P 1 and the interface between the upper electrode 23 and the light-emission functional layer 22 serves as a second end P 2 and the light-emission functional layer 22 serves as a resonator. If the organic electroluminescence elements EL are thus provided with a resonator structure, the multiple interference of light generated by the light-emitting layer 22 - 3 occurs and thus the elements EL serve as a kind of narrow band filter.
- the optical distance L between the first end (reflective plane) P 1 and the second end (semi-transmissive plane) P 2 of the resonator be so designed as to satisfy Equation (1) shorten below to thereby match the resonance wavelength of the resonator (the peak wavelength of the spectrum of the light that is to be extracted) with the peak wavelength of the spectrum of the light that is desired to be extracted.
- L ( m ⁇ /2 ⁇ ) ⁇ /2 (1)
- the unit of L is the same as that of ⁇ , and e.g. (nm) is used as the unit.
- the lower electrode 21 which offers the first end P 1 of such a resonator structure, have as high reflectivity as possible.

Such a lower electrode 21 is in the range of 30 nm to 2000 nm in the thickness along the stacking direction, and is formed by using a silver alloy film, aluminum-neodymium alloy film, or the like.
- the upper electrode 23 which offers the second end P 2 of the resonator structure, is used as a semi-transmissive reflective layer. It is desirable in terms of decreasing of loss due to absorption that the total sum of the reflectivity and the transmittance of the upper electrode 23 be as close to 100% as possible and the absorptivity thereof be as low as possible. Furthermore, because the upper electrode 23 is an electron injection electrode used as the cathode, it is preferable for the upper electrode 23 to have a low barrier to electron injection to the light-emission functional layer 22 and be composed of a metal having a low work function. Moreover, the upper electrode 23 should function as an electrode having sufficient electric conductivity to supply electrons to the light-emission functional layer 22 even when the upper electrode 23 is so thin that loss due to light absorption can be prevented as described above.
- an alloy containing Mg and Ag is preferable. This is because a metal thin film composed of an alloy, containing Mg and Ag is the most suitable as the electrode on the light-extraction side of a light resonator structure because it can be stably vacuum-evaporated and an organic electroluminescence element can be driven even when the thickness of the film is as small as about 5 nm to 10 nm.
- the upper electrode 23 composed of an alloy containing Mg and Ag involves few defects and can provide highly-reliable light emission because it can be easily formed by a film deposition method in which damage to organic films is small, such as resistor-heating evaporation.

- the display device 1 having the above-described configuration is driven as follows. For example, if the display device 1 is based on the chromaticity coordinate system shown in FIG. 4A , for displaying in which the colors can be represented by using the red light h(R), the green light h(G), and the blue light h(B) of the light beams h of the respective colors emitted from four pixels, only three pixels that offer these light beams are driven without using the dark blue light h(Db).

- This display device can be manufactured in the following manner for example.
- the material film of the black matrix 35 composed of the above-described material is deposited and patterned into a predetermined shape.
- the material film of the red filter 33 ( r ) is applied by spin-coating or the like over the substrate 31 , and then is patterned by a photolithography technique and baked, to thereby form the red filter 33 ( r ).
- the patterning is so performed that the peripheral part of the red filter 33 ( r ) overlaps with the black matrix 35 . This is because it is difficult to perform the patterning with high accuracy without permitting the red filter 33 ( r ) to overlap with the black matrix 35 and the part overlapping with the black matrix 35 has no effect on image displaying.
- the green filter 33 ( g ), the blue filter 33 ( b ), and the dark blue filter 33 (Db) are sequentially formed similarly to the red filter 33 ( r ).
- the transistors Tr, the insulating layer 13 , and the drive interconnects 15 are sequentially formed over the substrate 11 for the drive panel.
- the planarization insulating film 17 is formed by e.g. spin-coating, and then the connection holes 17 a are formed in the planarization insulating film 17 by exposure and development, followed by baking.

- photosensitive resin is so applied across the entire surface of the substrate 11 as to cover the lower electrodes 21 , and then the resin is processed by e.g. photolithography into a shape that exposes the center parts of the lower electrodes 21 based on a predetermined shape, followed by baking.

- the adhesive layer 35 is formed by coating on the surface of the drive panel 10 closer to the organic electroluminescence elements EL, and then the drive panel 10 and the sealing panel 30 are bonded to each other with the intermediary of the adhesive layer 35 therebetween. This completes the display device 1 shown in FIG. 2 .
- one pixel group is composed of the red pixel a(R), the green pixel a(G), and two blue pixels that offer y-values different from each other in the xy chromaticity coordinate system, i.e., the blue pixel a(B) and the dark blue pixel a(Db).
- This feature allows representation of blue with high color purity (blue with a low y-value), which may not be represented in related arts, through use of the dark blue pixel a(Db), which can expand the color gamut and thus can contribute to enhancement in the performance of the display device.
- the blue pixel a(B) that offers a higher y-value
- the light-extraction efficiency can be enhanced by using a blue filter of a low density. Therefore, if there is no need to expand the color gamut toward blue of a lower y-value, the blue pixel a(B), which offers a higher y-value and has more favorable light-extraction efficiency, is selected and used without using the dark blue pixel a(Db), so that power consumption is reduced.
- the necessary current for the blue light-emitting element EL(b) is large.
- the selection and use of the blue pixel a(B) without use of the dark blue pixel a(Db) can suppress power consumption.
- the superiority of the blue pixel a(B) over the dark blue pixel a(Db) in power consumption is attributed to difference in loss due to the absorption of the color filter 33 . That is, maximally utilizing the light emission of the blue pixel a(B), in which optical loss due to the color filter 33 is small, leads to the reduction in power consumption.
- the dark blue pixel a(Db) can expand the color gamut by representing dark blue based on color filter characteristics.
- the reproducibility can be enhanced through expansion of the color gamut due to light emission with high color purity, which may not be realized in a related-art RGB system.
- power consumption can be suppressed due to high-efficiency light emission achieved by maximally utilizing favorable light-extraction efficiency. Due to these advantages, a display device employing organic electroluminescence elements that offer high display quality and have low annual power consumption can be realized. In addition, extension of the lifetime of light-emitting elements (organic electroluminescence elements) can be achieved.
- the respective organic electroluminescence elements EL are formed to have a resonator structure.
- light generated by the light-emitting layer 22 - 3 is extracted with high extraction efficiency, which provides high front luminance and high color purity. This feature can also enhance the color representation performance and reduce power consumption.
- the transistors Tr and the drive interconnects 15 which have an effect on the aperture ratio, are provided on the opposite side to the light-extraction side of the organic electroluminescence elements EL, a high aperture ratio can be kept and the displaying performance can be enhanced.
